About Jillian Lederhouse

Dr. Lederhouse came to Wheaton after teaching regular and special education students in the Chicago Public Schools. Although she has enjoyed serving on the faculty of the Department of Education at Wheaton College for over thirty years, her love for the urban classroom continues to develop through a college partnership with Cleveland School, a highly multicultural K-8 public elementary school in Chicago. Whether they serve in private or public school classrooms, she is committed to preparing Christian teachers to be agents of change in the lives of their students, their schools and their communities.

In addition to her professional interests, Dr. Lederhouse serves in the music ministry, through teaching and on leadership committees in her church. She is married to Jonathan Lederhouse, aquatics director and coach of the men’s and women’s swim teams and the women’s water polo team at Wheaton. She and her husband enjoy their three adult children, Jamelyn, Jeremy, and Julia.
